Giro d'Italia 2025 GC Update: Isaac del Toro extends lead on stage 13 as Egan Bernal powers back into the top-10
Cycling
Stage 13 of the 2025 Giro d'Italia gave fans plenty of exciting racing keep them entertained. There has been a bit of reshuffling in the general classification as a result too, despite the relatively small time gaps at the finishing line.
Mads Pedersen took the stage win in Veneto with a monstrous sprint ahead of Wout van Aert. With neither of those two major players in the GC fight however, it was 3rd placed Isaac del Toro who made the most of the finale. Gapping the rest of his rivals and adding a total of 6 bonus seconds to his time throughout the day (including 2 at the Red Bull sprint), the Mexican has strengthen his grip on the Maglia Rosa to 38 seconds to teammate Juan Ayuso, with 3rd on GC Antonio Tiberi now at 1:18 down.
Behind the podium come, Simon Yates (+1:20), Primoz Roglic (+1:35), Richard Carapaz (+2:07), Giulio Ciccone (+2:20) and Brandon McNulty (+2:40), all unchanged positionally, but a few seconds further back on Del Toro because of the bonus seconds. Closing out the top 10 though, both Egan Bernal (+2:50) and Derek Gee (+2:54) have powered into the upper echelons of the GC as strong finishes on the final climb, bumping down Adam Yates and Thymen Arensman in the process.

- Roglic could not have won anyway, after Jonas followed him when Roglic decided it was his turn for a stage win. Jonas had already attacked Kuss twice, so it was Jonas who was within seconds of taking the lead before Kuss was 'gifted' the win. It felt a bit like Roglic was being thrown under the bus when the team made his unhappiness public.Hills3314-11-2026
- POG1, another nice doc about our favourite, I watched most of it with a big smile on my face (except for the bits about his crashes 😢 obvs!).Lozza14-11-2026
- Martinez had a good year! 5th at the Tour was a great result for him, albeit largely through getting in successful breaks, but he held it better than Pidcock who’d done the same.Lozza14-11-2026
- guess what Valgren, you're 34, and no you're not good enough. sorry to say.mij14-11-2026
- I'm a sepp fan and like to think he earned that LOL, indulge me : ) I think Jonas was fine. Roglic did not want to concede to Sepp. and I don't think you ever attack your own teammate in the leaders jersey if he is holding his own, which Sepp just about was.mij14-11-2026
- enough time? he's 24 years old. He's won 10 races over the last 2 years and some are significant. I won't argue about his attitude being good - it needs to improve. But with some coaching and mentorship he has a lot of winning ahead of him and has plenty of time to win a GT. I don't think he will ever beat Tadej, but everyone else is fair game Look at Mas and Valverde - they were 31 and 29, respectively, when they won the Vuelta.mij14-11-2026
- Pogacar has a fine head on his shoulders.Careful investments and a couple of coffee shops sounds like a wonderful way to chill after an intense career.Stay healthy GOAT.

- I live in Ljubljana and often go on trips in the surrounding area, where I frequently see young cyclists in 'Pogi Team' jerseys training, either alone or in groups. By simply motivating so many young people to take up cycling, Tadej has already achieved something truly significant.Velijo14-11-2026
- That's an excellent point. It's interesting that Vader came to that realization only after he learned that his contract wasn't going to be renewed.
